Stochastic resonance and improvement by noise in optimal detection strategies
A stochastic resonance effect, under the form of a noise-improved performance, is shown feasible for a whole range of optimal detection strategies, including Bayesian, minimum error-probability, Neyman–Pearson, and minimax detectors. In each case, situations are demonstrated where the performance of the optimal detector can be improved (locally) by raising the level of the noise. This is obtain...
متن کاملRhinovirus detection using different PCR-based strategies
Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are the major cause of the common cold. HRVs were recently reclassified into the Enterovirus genus (HEV) in the Picornaviridae family. HRVs and other members of the HEV genus share many common features, including sense RNA genomes and partial nucleotide sequence identity. The aim of this study was to evaluate different HRV detection strategies. Samples from adults with...
متن کاملNoise reveals visual mechanisms of detection and discrimination.
When performance is limited by stochastically defined masks, (psychophysical) reverse correlation has proven to be an especially efficient tool for estimating the templates used by detection and discrimination mechanisms. Here I describe a maximum-likelihood approach to quantifying the significance of differences between estimates of template. Four methodologically related experiments illustrat...
متن کاملOrientation uncertainty reduces perceived obliquity
The influence of prejudice on perception should be greatest when certainty about stimulus identity is least. We exploited this relationship to reveal visual biases for the cardinal orientations: vertical and horizontal. Specifically, when we increased the variance of orientations in an array of grating patches, estimates of the mean became less oblique. This result is consistent with a stable p...
متن کاملNoise and Uncertainty Manage
The management of uncertain and noisy data plays an important role in many problem solving tasks. One traditional approach is to quantify the magnitude of noise or uncertainty in the data and to take this information into account when using this type of data for different purposes. In this paper we propose an alternative way of handling uncertain and noisy data. In particular, noise in the data...
